She's still running

I like the mileage she gets, I also like the running boards that I don't see on the new ones. She has a six disk cd player but should have more trunk space. The trunk is small. I can go from New York to PA on a half tank of gas
I would not get a Ford today for two reasons
My experience with this one and they are made overseas
May as well get a Honda lol

Would not buy another

Nothing in beginning, not holding up with under 36,000 miles, paint, window leak, engine gearing up while accelerating.I would not buy another, as the paint job is inferior, the windows leak inside casusing stench of mold? Just not a healthy choice and I am a retired nurse, widow of age 74.

enjoyment and reliable

I can't say I really dislike anything but it was not my first choice. I do like the car overall.

The stock ride height is a little high but after lowering it slightly it improved the ride tremendously
